Business Appraisals In Alabama Peak Business ValuationBusiness Appraisals in Louisiana

Louisiana, the Pelican State, became a state in 1812. Its desirable port located at the exit of the Mississippi River led to several ownership changes in its early history. From a French crown colony in 1731 to being owned by Spain in 1763 back to France in 1800 and finally to statehood in 1812. The state has retained its French historic roots. It is the only state with parishes rather than counties, and its Mardi Gras Celebration has occurred each year since 1838. The state’s capital, New Orleans, is known as “the birthplace of jazz” and many jazz legends such as Louis Armstong and Jelly Roll Morton hail from the port. The civil war hit the state’s economy hard, with an eventual recovery due to the discovery of oil and natural gas around 1900, a majority of which is offshore production. The state benefits from its port location but it also paid its dues when Hurricane Katrina devastated the state in 2005. Louisiana has struggled to recover completely since then, but the state is held up by dominant industries and hardworking small businesses.

Louisiana’s backbone is in the oil industry, which according to Dr. Patrick Scott of Louisiana Tech, accounts for 24% of state output. The industry provides many jobs in the state but also increases the state’s exposure to the sometimes volatile oil industry. Non durable goods manufacturing accounts for 20% GDP, according to the bureau of economic analysis, about 10% higher than the national average. Non durable goods include oil, salt, processed food, paper, and sulphur. In addition, the state produces large amounts of sweet potatoes, rice, sugar cane, pecans, soybeans, corn, and cotton. The state’s strong exposure to manufacturing limits its exposure to shifts in the economy. While the state doesn’t benefit as strongly from upswings in the economy, it is also more resilient than most states in a downturn.

Small business is the name of the game for Louisiana. According to the Small Business Administration, the state has 457,636 small businesses, which account for 99.50% of all businesses in the state. There are 905,147 small businesses in the state, which account for 53.60% of the state’s employed, higher than the national average of 47.10%. This strong small business presence has led to Peak Business Valuation, business appraiser Louisiana, getting to know many of Louisiana’s hardworking individuals. Those who are looking to buy, sell, or grow a business reach out to Peak Business Valuation to get started. Reach out to us with any questions you may have!
